Recurring Tasks

Being able to set recurring tasks on a month to month basis would be ideal. You can use a work around by creating meetings, but it would be more helpful to have tasks that your entire team can tick off, yet will recur.

    I'm surprise by now that recurring task is not an option. We have maintenance tasks that we like to schedule as a tasks and assign them to certain people. We would like to also be able to track the progress. The only option we have now is to use Sharepoint Calendar (because that is the only thing that has a recurring feature) and you cannot assign people to a calendar item. Recurring should be added to everything across the board.

    I 100% agree, having recurring tasks would save so much time and would provide more consistency in tasks and allocation.
    Very much over using Outlook for my tasks. planner has been awesome so far, but not being able to set recurring tasks daily/weekly/monthly isn't user friendly......

    Any idea if this is in the pipeline to be added???

    Please allow recurring tasks. and more than 11 people able to be assigned to the same talk

    This needs to be available in Planner. How can a Task management programme like this not be available out of the box?

    Please can we have recurring tasks on Miscrosoft Teams - it really is no good having to set up daily tasks for every day of the year and I do not have access to Microsoft project. Thank you

    I hope this is part of the new Tasks functionality that is to be released soon in Microsoft 365 including MS Teams.

    Every month accounting goes through a list of key closing tasks that are recurring in nature. There are task management apps that once items are complete go to a completed section or have a one time due date, but I'm looking for something that we can book recurring tasks into a calendar. I want this because we have stakeholders across our enterprise that would like visibility to where we are at in the accounting close process, and if they can come to our team and click on the close calendar, they should be able to see a scoreboard of where we are at in the process.

    It is essential, not likely to encourage users to use the other functions if they have to revert to Outlook tasks.
    Tried tasklist but didn't find that solved the problem. Will try Flow but others her have confirmed it does not solve the problem
